Entrez Gene Summary for SNX19 Gene

Islet antigen-2 (IA-2) is an autoantigen in type 1 diabetes and plays a role in insulin secretion. IA-2 is found in dense-core secretory vesicles and interacts with the product of this gene, a sorting nexin. In mouse pancreatic beta-cells, the encoded protein influenced insulin secretion by stabilizing the number of dense-core secretory vesicles. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2016]

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot for SNX19 Gene

Plays a role in intracellular vesicle trafficking and exocytosis (PubMed:24843546). May play a role in maintaining insulin-containing dense core vesicles in pancreatic beta-cells and in preventing their degradation. May play a role in insulin secretion (PubMed:24843546). Interacts with membranes containing phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PtdIns(3P)) (By similarity).
